Has any member of the List ever come across this book - and (if so), could you seriously recommend it as an educational item for schools?
The title of it is "Time Flies - Really? Prove it!", from the author Brian Macfarlane. The ISBN number is 978-1977085498, which contains about 160 pages and is available via "Amazon" for around Five Pounds. Attached is a very small JPEG image, illustrating its 'front cover'. Apparently, it describes the use of his 'Multi-purpose Sundial' plus is aimed at schools as being a curriculum-wide project - but looking at the illustration on the front cover, it seems to be a 'NON-dial'! In a private Email to myself, the author claims it has been endorsed by Sir Anthony Seldon (Vice-Chancellor of "Buckingham University"), who seemingly has described it as being 'a good idea for schools'. As a teacher, I would prefer to have some independent opinions from sundial 'experts' - before considering its use for my own school, as this could be a "total waste of money" with no 'educational value'. I look forward to any information - either to the List, or privately. Sincerely, Linda Reid. --
